Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain matters within this Quarterly Report on Form 10Q include “forward–looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The “forward-looking statements” may include our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about our business and our industry. They may include statements relating to future revenues, expenses and profitability, the future development and expected growth of our business, projected capital expenditures, attendance at movies generally or in any of the markets in which we operate, the number or diversity of popular movies released and our ability to successfully license and exhibit popular films, national and international growth in our industry, competition from other exhibitors and alternative forms of entertainment and determinations in lawsuits in which we are defendants. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “plans,” “expects,” “future” and “intends” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results or performance to differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict, including, among others, the impacts of COVID-19. Such risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements. For a description of the risk factors, please review the “Risk Factors” section or other sections, or incorporated by reference to, the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed February 26, 2021 and the Current Report on Form 8-K filed March 4, 2021. All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by such risk factors. We undertake no obligation, other than as required by law, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The Company and Basis of Presentation

The Company and its subsidiaries operate in the motion picture exhibition industry, with theatres in the United States (“U.S.”), Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Guatemala, Bolivia, Curacao and Paraguay.

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, which was derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Majority-owned subsidiaries of which the Company has control are consolidated while those affiliates of which the Company owns between 20% and 50% and does not control are accounted for under the equity method. Those affiliates of which the Company owns less than 20% are generally accounted for under the cost method, unless the Company is deemed to have the ability to exercise significant influence over the affiliate, in which case the Company would account for its investment under the equity method. The results of these subsidiaries and affiliates are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements effective with their formation or from their dates of acquisition. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.  

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed February 26, 2021 by the Company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the full year.

2.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

As the Company has previously disclosed, the COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on the world and the movie exhibition industry. The social and economic effects have been widespread, and the situation continues to evolve. As a movie exhibitor that operates spaces where patrons gather in close proximity, the Company has been, and continues to be, significantly impacted by protective actions taken by governmental authorities to control the spread of the pandemic. To comply with government mandates at the initial outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company temporarily closed all of its theatres in the U.S. and Latin America in March of 2020, implemented temporary personnel and salary reductions, halted non-essential operating and capital expenditures, and negotiated modified timing and/or abatement of contractual payments with landlords and other major suppliers until its theatres reopened.  In addition, the Company suspended its quarterly dividend.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had reopened 301 of its domestic theatres and 78 of its international theatres and continued to show a limited volume of new releases along with library content during reduced operating hours.  Theatre staffing levels remain reduced as compared to pre-COVID levels due to limited operating hours as well as the Company’s focus on initiatives to enhance productivity. The Company also continues to limit operating expenses and capital expenditures to essential activities and projects as volumes remain reduced.  The Company is continuing to work with landlords and other vendors to extend payment terms while it reopens theatres and recovers from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.  

Based on the Company’s current estimates of recovery, it believes it has, and will generate, sufficient cash to sustain operations. Nonetheless, the COVID-19 pandemic has had, and continues to have, adverse effects on the Company’s business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, (“ASU 2020-04”) and ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, (“ASU 2021-01”). The purpose of ASU 2020-04 is to provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. More specifically, the amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met.  The amendments in ASU 2021-01 clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition.  The amendments in ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 are effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 and their impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”).  In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, which simplifies the guidance on the issuer’s accounting for convertible debt.  The provisions of ASU 2020-06 are applicable for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020.  The Company elected to adopt ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2021.  See discussion of the impact of adoption at Note 7.

Lease Accounting

Lease Deferrals and Abatements

Upon the temporary closure of theatres in March 2020, the Company initiated discussions with landlords to negotiate the deferral of rent and other lease-related payments with certain of its landlords.  The amendments signed with the landlords involve varying concessions, including the abatement of rent payments during closure, deferral of all or a portion of rent payments to later periods and deferrals of rent payments to later periods combined with an early exercise of an existing renewal option or extension of the lease term.  In some cases, the Company is entitled to rent-free periods while theatres remain closed in certain locations due to local regulations.  Total payments deferred as of March 31, 2021 were $65,203, of which $48,287 is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses and $16,915 is included in other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

In April 2020, the FASB staff released guidance indicating that in response to the COVID-19 crisis, an entity would not have to analyze each contract to determine whether enforceable rights and obligations for concessions exist in the contract and can elect to apply or not apply the lease modification guidance in Topic 842 to those contracts.  The election is available for concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that do not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or the obligations of the lessee. For example, this election is available for concessions that result in the total payments required by the modified contract being substantially the same as or less than total payments required by the original contract.

The Company elected to not remeasure the related lease liabilities and right-of-use assets for those leases where the concessions and deferrals did not result in a significant change in total payments under the lease and where the remaining lease term did not change as a result of the negotiation.   For those leases that were renewed or extended as a result of the negotiation to defer rent payments, the Company recalculated the related lease liability and right-of-use asset based on the new terms.

As discussed above at Lease Deferrals and Abatements, the Company negotiated certain lease amendments to defer and/or abate contractual payments as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and temporary closure of theatres.  In accordance with FASB Staff guidance, the Company did not recalculate lease liabilities and right of use assets for amendments that did not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or the obligations of the lessee.  Contractual payment amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2021 above are prior to the impact of deferred or abated rent amounts.  

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had signed lease agreements with total noncancelable lease payments of approximately $183,689 related to theatre leases that had not yet commenced.  The timing of lease commencement is dependent on the completion of construction of the related theatre facility.  Additionally, these amounts are based on estimated square footage and costs to construct each facility and may be subject to adjustment upon final completion of each construction project.  In accordance with ASC Topic 842, fixed minimum lease payments related to these theatres are not included in the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as of March 31, 2021.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s patrons have the option to purchase movie tickets well in advance of a movie showtime or right before the movie showtime, or at any point in between those two timeframes depending on seat availability. The Company recognizes such admissions revenues when the showtime for a purchased movie ticket has passed. Concession revenues are recognized when products are sold to the consumer. Other revenues primarily consist of screen advertising and screen rental revenues, promotional income,

CINEMARK HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

studio trailer placements and transactional fees. The Company sells gift cards and discount ticket vouchers, the proceeds from which are recorded as deferred revenues. Deferred revenues for gift cards and discount ticket vouchers are recognized when they are redeemed for concession items or, if redeemed for movie tickets, when the showtime has passed. The Company offers a subscription program in the U.S. whereby patrons can pay a monthly fee to receive a monthly credit for use towards a future movie ticket purchase. The Company records the monthly subscription program fees as deferred revenues and records admissions revenues when the showtime for a movie ticket purchased with a credit has passed.  The Company has loyalty programs in the U.S. and many of its international locations that either have a prepaid annual membership fee or award points to customers as purchases are made. For those loyalty programs that have an annual membership fee, the Company recognizes the fee collected as other revenues on a straight-line basis over the term of the membership.  For those loyalty programs that award points to customers based on their purchases, the Company records a portion of the original transaction proceeds as deferred revenues based on the number of reward points issued to customers and recognizes the deferred revenues when the customer redeems such points. The value of loyalty points issued is based on the estimated fair value of the rewards offered. The Company generally records breakage revenue on gift cards and discount ticket vouchers based on redemption activity and historical experience with unused balances. The Company also records breakage revenue generally upon the expiration of loyalty points and subscription credits. Advances collected on concession and other contracts are deferred and recognized during the period in which the Company satisfies the related performance obligations, which may differ from the period in which the advances are collected.

Accounts receivable as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 included approximately $6,484 and $6,232 of receivables, respectively, related to contracts with customers.  The Company did not record any assets related to the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with customers during the three months ended March 31, 2021 or March 31, 2020.

(1)

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, a weighted average of approximately 1,797 and 683 shares of restricted stock, respectively, were considered participating securities.  

 

(2)

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, approximately 65 and 92, respectively, common equivalent shares for restricted stock units were excluded because they were anti-dilutive.

 

(3)

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, excludes the conversion of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes, issued August 21, 2020, into 32,051 shares of common stock, as they would be anti-dilutive.  

The Company considers its unvested share-based payment awards, which contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends, participating securities, and includes such participating securities in its computation of loss per share pursuant to the two-class method. Basic loss per share for the two classes of stock (common stock and unvested restricted stock) is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and unvested restricted stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the potentially dilutive effect of common equivalent shares outstanding determined under both the two-class method and the treasury stock method.

The impact of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes on diluted loss per share are calculated under the if-converted method, which assumes conversion of the notes at the beginning of the period.  During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock of $21.15 exceeded the exercise price of $14.35 per share.  The if-converted value of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes exceeded the aggregate outstanding principle value of the notes by $279,745.

As stated in Note 13 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed February 26, 2021, the Company entered into hedge transactions with, and sold warrants to, counterparties in connection with the issuance of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes.  The weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock of $21.15 did not exceed the exercise price of $22.08 per share for the warrants during the three months ended March 31, 2021.  The hedge transactions are generally expected to reduce the potential dilution of any conversion of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes, as the case may be.  

 

7.

Long Term Debt Activity

Senior Secured Credit Facility

Cinemark USA, Inc. has a senior secured credit facility that includes a $700,000 term loan and a $100,000 revolving credit line (the “Credit Agreement”).  As of March 31, 2021, there was $638,083 outstanding under the term loan and no borrowings were outstanding under the revolving credit line.   As of March 31, 2021, $100,000 was available for borrowing under the revolving credit line. Quarterly principal payments of $1,649 are due on the term loan through December 31, 2024, with a final principal payment of $613,351 due on March 29, 2025.  The revolving credit line matures November 28, 2022.  The average interest rate applicable to outstanding term loan borrowings under the Credit Agreement at March 31, 2021 was approximately 3.4% per annum, after giving effect to the interest rate swap agreements discussed below.  

On April 17, 2020, in conjunction with the issuance of the 8.750% Secured Notes discussed below, the Company obtained a waiver of the leverage covenant.  The leverage covenant applies when amounts are outstanding under the revolving line of credit under the Credit Agreement for the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020.

On August 21, 2020, the Company further amended the waiver of the leverage covenant to extend through the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021.  The amendment also (i) modifies the leverage covenant calculation beginning with the calculation for the trailing twelve-month period ended December 31, 2021, (ii) for purposes of testing the consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio for the fiscal quarters ending on December 31, 2021, March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, permits the Company to substitute Consolidated EBITDA for the first three fiscal quarters of 2019 in lieu of Consolidated EBITDA for the corresponding fiscal quarters of 2021, (iii) modifies the restrictions imposed by the covenant waiver, and (iv) makes such other changes to permit the issuance of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes discussed below.

5.875% Senior Notes

On March 16, 2021, Cinemark USA, Inc. issued $405,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.875% senior notes due 2026, at par value (the “5.875% Senior Notes”). Proceeds, after payment of fees, were used to fund a cash tender offer to purchase any and all of Cinemark USA’s 5.125% Senior Notes (the “5.125% Senior Notes”) and to redeem any of the 5.125% Senior Notes that remained outstanding after the tender offer. See further discussion of the tender offer below.  Interest on the 5.875% Senior Notes is payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning September 15, 2021. The 5.875% Senior Notes mature on March 15, 2026. The Company incurred debt issue costs of approximately $5,980 in connection with the issuance, which are recorded as a reduction of long-term debt, less current on the consolidated balance sheet.  

The 5.875% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior unsecured basis by certain of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s subsidiaries that guarantee, assume or become liable with respect to any of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s or a guarantor’s debt. The 5.875% Senior Notes and the guarantees are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s and its guarantor’s existing and future senior debt and are senior in right of payment to all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s and its guarantors’ existing and future senior subordinated debt. The 5.875% Senior Notes and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s and its guarantor’s existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt, including all borrowings under Cinemark USA, Inc.’s amended senior secured credit facility. The 5.875% Senior Notes and the guarantees are structurally subordinated to all existing and future debt and other liabilities of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 5.875% Senior Notes.

The indenture to the 5.875% Senior Notes contains covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of Cinemark USA, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries to (1) make investments or other restricted payments, including paying dividends, making other distributions or repurchasing subordinated debt or equity, (2) incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, (3) enter into transactions with affiliates, (4) enter new lines of business, (5) merge or consolidate with, or sell all or substantially all of its assets to, another person and (6) create liens. Upon a change of control, as defined in the indenture, the Company would be required to make an offer to repurchase the 5.875% Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, through the date of repurchase. The indenture governing the 5.875% Senior Notes allows Cinemark USA, Inc. to incur additional indebtedness if we satisfy the coverage ratio specified in the indenture, after giving effect to the incurrence of the additional indebtedness, and in certain other circumstances.

Prior to March 15, 2023, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem all or any part of the 5.875% Senior Notes at its option at 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium plus accrued and unpaid interest on the 5.875% Senior Notes to the date of redemption. After March 15, 2023, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem the 5.875% Senior Notes in whole or in part at redemption prices specified in the indenture. In addition, prior to March 15, 2023, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 5.875% Senior Notes from the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption price set forth in the indenture.

5.125% Senior Notes

On March 16, 2021, Cinemark USA, Inc. completed a tender offer to purchase its previously outstanding 5.125% Senior Notes, of which $333,990 was tendered at the expiration of the offer.  On March 16, 2021, Cinemark USA, Inc. also issued a notice of optional redemption to redeem the remaining $66,010 principal amount of the 5.125% Senior Notes. In connection therewith, Cinemark USA deposited with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Trustee for the 5.125% Senior Notes (the “Trustee”), funds sufficient to redeem all 5.125% Notes remaining outstanding on April 15, 2021 (the “Redemption Date”). The redemption payment (the “Redemption Payment”) included $66,010 of outstanding principal at the redemption price equal to 100.000% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date. Upon deposit of the Redemption Payment with the Trustee on March 16, 2021, the indenture governing the 5.125% Senior Notes was fully satisfied and discharged.

The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2,603 during the three months ended March 31, 2021, which included the write-off of $1,168 unamortized debt issuance costs and the payment of $1,435 in fees.

Approximately $9,786 of the total is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses and $16,113 is included in other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2021.

  Upon amending the interest rate swap agreements effective March 31,2020, the Company determined that the interest payments hedged with the agreements are still probable to occur, therefore the loss that accumulated on the swaps prior to the amendments of $29,359 is being amortized to interest expense through December 31, 2022, the original maturity dates of the swaps.   Approximately $1,124 was recorded in amortization of accumulated losses for amended swaps in the condensed consolidated income statement for the three months ended March 31, 2021, respectively.

The fair values of the amended interest rate swaps and the new interest rate swap are recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as an asset or liability with the related gains or losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.  The changes in fair value are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings in the same period that the hedged items affect earnings. The valuation technique used to determine fair value is the income approach.  Under this approach, the Company uses projected future interest rates, which fall in Level 2 of the U.S. GAAP hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35, as provided by counterparties to the interest rate swap agreements and the fixed rates that the Company is obligated to pay under the agreements.

Adoption of ASU 2020-06

ASU 2020-06 simplifies the guidance on an issuer’s accounting for convertible debt instruments by removing the separation models for (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, entities will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature of such debt. Instead, they will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, unless certain other conditions are met. The elimination of these models reduces reported interest expense and increases reported net income for entities that have issued a convertible instrument within the scope of those models before the adoption of ASU 2020-06. Also, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share and the treasury stock method is no longer available. The provisions of ASU 2020-06 are applicable for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020.

The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 under the modified retrospective method effective January 1, 2021.  As a result of the adoption, the entire $460,000 principal balance of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes are recorded in long-term debt and is no longer bifurcated between long-term debt and equity. The impact of the adoption is as follows:

 

Reclassified $101,123 previously allocated to the cash conversion feature and recorded in equity, from equity to long term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.  

 

Reversed the accretion of interest of $5,714 on the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes recorded during the year ended December 31, 2020 with a credit to retained earnings.

 

Reclassified $3,764 of debt issue costs previously allocated to equity to long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

Recorded offsetting amortization of debt issue costs of $274 as an adjustment to retained earnings on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Fair Value of Long-Term Debt

The Company estimates the fair value of its long-term debt using the market approach, which utilizes quoted market prices that fall under Level 2 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC Topic 820”). The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt, excluding unamortized debt discounts and debt issue costs, was $2,538,135 and $2,527,900 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was $2,846,837 and $2,652,635 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Investment in National CineMedia

 

NCM operates a digital in-theatre network in the U.S. for providing cinema advertising. The Company entered into an Exhibitor Services Agreement with NCM (“ESA”), pursuant to which NCM primarily provides advertising to our theatres. The Company does not recognize undistributed equity in the earnings on its original NCM membership units (referred to herein as the Company’s Tranche 1 Investment) until NCM’s future net earnings, less distributions received, surpass the amount of the excess distribution. The Company recognizes equity in earnings on its Tranche 1 Investment only to the extent it receives cash distributions from NCM. The Company recognizes cash distributions it receives from NCM on its Tranche 1 Investment as a component of earnings as Distributions from NCM.  The Company believes that the accounting model provided by ASC Topic 323-10-35-22 for recognition of equity

investee losses in excess of an investor’s basis is analogous to the accounting for equity income subsequent to recognizing an excess distribution.

Common Unit Adjustments  

The Company also periodically receives consideration in the form of common units from NCM.  Annual adjustments to the common membership units are made primarily based on increases or decreases in the number of theatre screens operated and theatre attendance generated. The common units received are recorded at estimated fair value as an increase in the Company’s investment in NCM with an offset to NCM screen advertising advances.

During March 2021, NCM performed its annual common unit adjustment calculation under the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement. As a result of the calculation, the Company will receive an additional 2,311,482 common units of NCM, each of which is convertible into one share of NCMI common stock. The Company will record the additional common units received at estimated fair value with a corresponding adjustment to NCM screen advertising advances when they are received in April 2021.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company owned a total of 40,850,068 common units of NCM (excluding the common units to be received in April 2021 noted above), representing an ownership interest of approximately 25%. Each of the Company’s common units in NCM is convertible into one share of NCM, Inc. common stock.  As of March 31, 2021, the estimated fair value of the Company’s investment in NCM was approximately $188,727 based on NCM, Inc.’s stock price as of March 31, 2021 of $4.62 per share (Level 1 input as defined in FASB ASC Topic 820).  

Exhibitor Services Agreement

As discussed above, the Company’s domestic theatres are part of the in-theatre digital network operated by NCM under the ESA. NCM provides advertising to the Company’s theatres through its branded “Noovie” pre-show entertainment program and also handles lobby promotions and displays for our theatres.  The Company receives a monthly theatre access fee for participation in the NCM network and also earns screen advertising revenue on a per patron basis.   The screen advertising revenues earned under the ESA are reflected in other revenue on the condensed consolidated income statement.

  Prior to September 17, 2019, the ESA was accounted for under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.   Effective September 17, 2019, the Company signed an amendment to the ESA, under which the Company will provide incremental advertising time to NCM and has extended the term through February 2041.  Since the agreement was amended, the Company was required to evaluate the revised contract under ASC Topic 842, Leases, and as a result, determined that the ESA met the definition of a lease.  The Company leases nonconsecutive periods of use of its domestic theatre screens to NCM for purposes of showing third party advertising content.  The lease, which is classified as an operating lease, generally requires variable lease payments based on the number of patrons attending the showtimes during which such advertising is shown.  The lease agreement is considered short-term due to the fact that the nonconsecutive periods of use, or advertising time slots, are set on a weekly basis.  The revenues earned under the ESA, both before and after the amendment, are reflected in other revenue on the consolidated income statement.

The recognition of revenue related to the NCM screen advertising advances are recorded through February 2041.

Amounts are net of the estimated interest to be accrued for the periods presented.  See discussion of significant financing component below.  

 

Significant Financing Component

In connection with the completion of the NCMI initial public offering, the Company amended and restated its ESA with NCM and received approximately $174,000 in cash consideration from NCM. The proceeds were recorded as deferred revenue and are being amortized over the term of the modified ESA, or through February 2041. In addition to the consideration received upon the ESA modification during 2007, the Company also receives consideration in the form of common units from NCM, at each annual common unit adjustment settlement, in exchange for exclusive access to the Company’s newly opened domestic screens under the ESA. Due to the significant length of time between receiving the consideration from NCM and fulfillment of the related performance obligation, the ESA includes an implied significant financing component, as per the guidance in ASC Topic 606. As a result of the significant financing component, the Company recognized incremental screen rental revenue and an offsetting interest expense of $7,851 and $5,835, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The interest expense was calculated using the Company’s incremental borrowing rates at the time when the cash was received from the NCMI IPO and each tranche of common units was received from NCM, which ranged from 4.4% to 8.3%.

Effective September 17, 2019, upon the Company’s evaluation and determination that ASC Topic 842 applies to the amended ESA, the Company determined it acceptable to apply the significant financing component guidance from ASC Topic 606 by analogy as the economic substance of the agreement represents a financing arrangement.

Other Investments

 

Digital Cinema Implementation Partners LLC (“DCIP”)

On February 12, 2007, the Company, AMC and Regal (the “Exhibitors”) entered into a joint venture known as DCIP to facilitate the implementation of digital cinema in the Company’s theatres and to establish agreements with major motion picture studios for the financing of digital cinema. On March 10, 2010, DCIP and its subsidiaries completed an initial financing transaction to enable the purchase, deployment and leasing of digital projection systems to the Exhibitors under equipment lease and installation agreements.  On March 31, 2011, DCIP obtained incremental financing necessary to complete the deployment of digital projection systems.  DCIP also entered into long-term Digital Cinema Deployment Agreements (“DCDAs”) with six major motion picture studios pursuant to which Kasima LLC, one of DCIP’s subsidiaries, receives a virtual print fee ("VPF") each time the studio books a film or certain other content on the leased digital projection systems. Other content distributors entered into similar DCDAs that provide for the payment of VPFs for bookings of the distributor's content on a leased digital projection system.  The DCDAs end on the earlier to occur of (i) the tenth anniversary of the "mean deployment date" for all digital projection systems scheduled to be deployed over a period of up to five years, or (ii) the date DCIP achieves "cost recoupment", each as defined in the DCDAs.  Cost recoupment occurs when revenues attributable to the digital projection systems exceed the financing, deployment, administration and other costs associated with the purchase of the digital projection systems.  DCIP expects cost recoupment to occur during late 2021. The timing of cost recoupment is dependent on VPF payments from studios. Pursuant to the operating agreement between the Exhibitors and DCIP, DCIP began to distribute excess cash to the Exhibitors upon the payoff of its outstanding debt, which occurred during the year ended December 31, 2019.  

Effective November 1, 2020, the Company amended the master equipment lease agreement (“MELA”) with Kasima LLC, which is an indirect subsidiary of DCIP, resulting in the termination of the MELA.  Upon termination of the MELA, the Company received a distribution of the digital projection equipment that it previously leased.  As the fair value of the distributed projectors was greater than the Company’s investment in DCIP at the time of the distribution, the investment in DCIP was reduced to zero at the time of the distribution.  The Company does not recognize undistributed equity in the earnings or loss of its investment in DCIP until such time that future net earnings, less distributions received, surpass the amount of the excess distribution.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had a 33% voting interest in DCIP and a 24.3% economic interest in DCIP. The Company accounts for its investment in DCIP and its subsidiaries under the equity method of accounting.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company performed a qualitative impairment analysis on its long-lived assets as of March 31, 2021.  The Company’s qualitative analysis considered economic and market conditions, industry trading multiples and the impact of recent industry developments and events on the estimated fair values as determined during its most recent quantitative assessments as of December 31, 2020.  The Company’s consideration of economic and market conditions included the status of the COVID-10 pandemic and its impact on the Company’s anticipated recovery as well as future film release schedules.  As a result of the qualitative assessment, no impairment of long-lived assets was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company determines fair value measurements in accordance with ASC Topic 820, which establishes a fair value hierarchy under which an asset or liability is categorized based on the lowest level of input significant to its fair value measurement. The levels of input defined by ASC Topic 820 are as follows:

Level 1 – quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date;

Level 2 – other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 – unobservable and should be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.

Below is a summary of liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by the Company under FASB ASC Topic 820 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

See further discussion of interest rate swaps at Note 7.

The Company uses the market approach for fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis in the impairment evaluations of its goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets (see Note 12 and Note 13). See additional explanation of fair value measurement techniques used for long-lived assets, goodwill and intangible assets in “Critical Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed February 26, 2021.  There were no changes in valuation techniques.  The Company elected to perform its goodwill impairment evaluation using both the market approach and the income approach for the three months ended March 31, 2021. There were no transfers in to or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

15.

Foreign Currency Translation

The accumulated other comprehensive loss account in stockholders’ equity of $401,290 and $398,653 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, primarily includes cumulative foreign currency net losses of $385,109 and $375,539, respectively, from translating the financial statements of the Company’s international subsidiaries and the cumulative changes in fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements that are designated as hedges.

As of March 31, 2021, all foreign countries where the Company has operations, other than Argentina, are non-highly inflationary, and the local currency is the same as the functional currency in all of the locations. Thus, any fluctuation in the currency results in a cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment recorded to accumulated other comprehensive loss.  The Company deemed Argentina to be highly inflationary beginning July 1, 2018.  A highly inflationary economy is defined as an economy with a cumulative inflation rate of approximately 100 percent or more over a three-year period. If a country’s economy is classified as highly inflationary, the financial statements of the foreign entity operating in that country must be remeasured to the functional currency of the reporting entity.  The financial information of the Company’s Argentina subsidiaries was remeasured in U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters, effective July 1, 2018.  

Below is a summary of the impact of translating the March 31, 2021 and 2020 financial statements of the Company’s international subsidiaries:

Segments

The Company manages its international market and its U.S. market as separate reportable operating segments, with the international segment consisting of operations in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Guatemala, Bolivia, Curacao and Paraguay. Each segment’s revenue is derived from admissions and concession sales and other ancillary revenues. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, as shown in the reconciliation table below, as the primary measure of segment profit and loss to evaluate performance and allocate its resources. The Company does not report total assets by segment because that information is not used to evaluate the performance of or allocate resources between segments.

Related Party Transactions

The Company manages a theatre for Laredo Theatre, Ltd. (“Laredo”). The Company is the sole general partner and owns 75% of the limited partnership interests of Laredo. Lone Star Theatres, Inc. owns the remaining 25% of the limited partnership interests in Laredo and is 100% owned by Mr. David Roberts, Lee Roy Mitchell’s son-in-law. Lee Roy Mitchell is the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors and directly and indirectly owns approximately 8% of the Company’s common stock. Under the agreement, management fees are paid by Laredo to the Company at a rate of 5% of annual theatre revenues. The Company recorded $24 and $62 of management fee revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. All such amounts are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements with the intercompany amounts eliminated in consolidation.

The Company has an Aircraft Time Sharing Agreement with Copper Beech Capital, LLC (“Copper Beech”) to use, on occasion, a private aircraft owned by Copper Beech. Copper Beech is owned by Mr. Mitchell and his wife, Tandy Mitchell. The private aircraft is used by Mr. Mitchell and other executives who accompany Mr. Mitchell to business meetings for the Company. The Company reimburses Copper Beech for the actual costs of fuel usage and the expenses of the pilots, landing fees, storage fees and similar expenses incurred during the trip.  For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the aggregate amounts paid to Copper Beech for the use of the aircraft was $0 and $12, respectively.

The Company leases 14 theatres and one parking facility from Syufy Enterprises, LP (“Syufy”) or affiliates of Syufy. Raymond Syufy is one of the Company’s directors and is an officer of the general partner of Syufy. Of these 15 leases, 14 have fixed minimum annual rent. The one lease without minimum annual rent has rent based upon a specified percentage of gross sales as defined in the lease. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company paid total rent of approximately $6,033 and $4,065, respectively, to Syufy.  

The Company has a 50% voting interest in FE Concepts, a joint venture with AWSR, an entity owned by Lee Roy Mitchell and Tandy Mitchell.  FE Concepts operates a family entertainment center that offers bowling, gaming, movies and other amenities that opened during December 2019.  See Note 10 for further discussion.

Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of its business operations, such as personal injury claims, employment matters, patent claims, landlord-tenant disputes, contractual disputes with landlords over certain termination rights or the right to discontinue rent payments due to the COVID-19 pandemic and other contractual disputes, some of which are covered by insurance. The Company believes its potential liability with respect to proceedings currently pending is not material, individually or in the aggregate, to the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.  

Cinemark Holdings, Inc., et al vs Factory Mutual Insurance Company.  The Company filed suit on November 18, 2020, in the District Court, 471st Judicial District, Collin County, Texas.  On December 22, 2020, the case was moved to the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Sherman Division.  The Company submitted a claim under its property insurance policy issued by Factory Mutual Insurance Company (the “FM Policy”) for losses sustained as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the forced closure of the Company’s theatres pursuant to orders issued by various government agencies.  Factory Mutual Insurance Company (“FM”) denied the Company’s claim.  The Company is seeking damages resulting from FM’s breach of contract, FM’s bad faith conduct and a declaration of the parties’ rights under the FM Policy.  While the Company cannot predict the outcome of this litigation, management believes this lawsuit will not have a material adverse effect on the company’s financial position or results of operations.  

Intertrust Technologies Corporation (“Intertrust”) v. Cinemark Holdings, Inc., Regal, AMC, et al.  This case was filed against the Company on August 7, 2019 in the Eastern District of Texas – Marshall Division alleging patent infringement. The Company firmly maintains that the contentions of the Plaintiff are without merit and will vigorously defend itself against the lawsuit. Although the Company does not believe that it has infringed on any of Intertrust’s patents, it cannot predict the outcome of this litigation.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes and schedules included elsewhere in this report.

Recent Developments

As we have previously disclosed, the COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on our industry. The social and economic effects are widespread, and the situation continues to evolve. As a movie exhibitor that operates spaces where patrons gather in close proximity, we have been, and continue to be, significantly impacted by protective actions taken by governmental authorities to control the spread of the pandemic. We temporarily closed all of our theatres in the U.S. and Latin America effective March 17, 2020 and March 18, 2020, respectively, to comply with government mandates at the initial outbreak.

As of March 31, 2021, we had reopened 301 of our domestic theatres and 78 of our international theatres and continued to show a limited volume of new releases along with library content during reduced operating hours.  Our theatre staffing levels remain reduced as compared to pre-COVID levels due to limited operating hours as well as our focus on initiatives to enhance productivity. We also continue to limit operating expenses and capital expenditures to essential activities and projects as volumes remain reduced.  We are continuing to work with landlords and other vendors to extend payment terms while we reopen theatres and recover from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.  

Our focus on maintaining a strong balance sheet and low leverage allowed us to enter the global COVID-19 pandemic in a solid financial position. Based on our current estimates of recovery, we believe we have, and will generate, sufficient cash to sustain operations. Nonetheless, the COVID-19 pandemic has had, and continues to have, adverse effects on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Income Tax Considerations

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act enacted on March 27, 2020 allows corporate taxpayers to carryback net operating losses generated in 2018, 2019 and 2020 to the previous five years.  As a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, it generated significant net operating losses during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company carried back these losses to prior years and, as of March 31, 2021, the Company has a federal income tax receivable of $171 million.  

General Information

We are a leader in the motion picture exhibition industry, with theatres in the U.S., Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Guatemala, Bolivia, Curacao and Paraguay. As of March 31, 2021, we managed our business under two reportable operating segments – U.S. markets and international markets. See Note 17 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

We generate revenues primarily from filmed entertainment box office receipts and concession sales with additional revenues from screen advertising sales and other revenue streams, such as transactional fees, vendor marketing promotions, studio trailer placements, meeting rentals and electronic video games located in some of our theatres. We also offer alternative entertainment, such as live and pre-recorded sports programs, concert events, the Metropolitan Opera, in-theatre gaming and other special events in our theatres. In-theatre advertising for our domestic theatres is provided by National CineMedia. In our international locations, our Flix Media subsidiaries provide screen advertising and alternative content for our international circuit and to other international exhibitors.

Films leading the box office during the three months ended March 31, 2021 included the carryover from The Croods: A New Age and Wonder Woman 1984, and new releases Tom & Jerry and Godzilla vs. Kong. Films currently scheduled for release during the remainder of 2021 include Mortal Kombat, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Cruella, A Quiet Place Part II, F9, Black Widow, The Suicide Squad, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Top Gun Maverick and the sequel to Marvel’s Spider-man Far From Home, among other films.  Films currently scheduled for release during the remainder of 2021 may still shift as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

28


 

Film rental and advertising costs are variable in nature and fluctuate with admissions revenues. Film rental costs as a percentage of revenues are generally higher for periods in which more blockbuster films are released. The Company also receives virtual print fees from studios for certain of its international locations, which are included as a contra-expense in film rentals and advertising costs.  Promotional expenses are generally variable in nature and primarily include the placement of film-specific social and digital media spots promoting film content currently playing in our theatres.  Advertising costs, which are expensed as incurred, are primarily related to campaigns for new and renovated theatres, loyalty and membership programs and brand advertising that vary depending on the timing of such campaigns.

Concession supplies expenses are variable in nature and fluctuate with our concession revenues and product mix. We negotiate prices for concession supplies directly with concession vendors and manufacturers to obtain volume rates.

Salaries and wages for our theatres generally move in relation to revenues as theatre staffing is adjusted to respond to changes in attendance and also include a fixed cost component (i.e. the minimum staffing costs to operate a theatre during non-peak periods). In some international locations, staffing levels are also subject to local regulations.

Facility lease expenses are primarily fixed costs at the theatre level as most of our facility leases require fixed monthly minimum rent payments. Certain leases are subject to percentage rent only, while others are subject to percentage rent in addition to their fixed monthly rent if a target annual performance level is achieved. Facility lease expenses as a percentage of revenues are also affected by the number of theatres under operating leases, the number of theatres under finance leases and the number of owned theatres.

Utilities and other costs include both fixed and variable costs and primarily consist of utilities, expenses for projection and sound equipment maintenance and monitoring, credit card fees, third party ticket sales commissions, property taxes, janitorial costs, repairs, maintenance and security services.

General and administrative expenses are primarily fixed in nature and consist of the costs to support the overall management of the Company, including base, incentive compensation and benefits for our corporate office personnel, facility expenses for our corporate offices, consulting fees, professional fees, cloud-based software licensing fees, travel expenses, supplies and other costs that are not specifically associated with the operations of our theatres.

Three months ended March 31, 2021 versus March 31, 2020

We had reopened 301 of our domestic theatres and 78 of our international theatres as of March 31, 2021.  Certain of our international theatres had to temporarily close again during the first quarter of 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  We continue to monitor the status of the COVID-19 pandemic and local government regulations as we plan the reopening of our remaining theatres.

Revenues and attendance amounts in millions.  Average ticket price is calculated as admissions revenues divided by attendance.  Concession revenues per patron is calculated as concession revenues divided by attendance.

U.S. operating segment revenues include eliminations of intercompany transactions with the international operating segment. See Note 17 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Constant currency revenue amounts, which are non-GAAP measurements, were calculated using the average exchange rate for the corresponding month for 2020. We translate the results of our international operating segment from local currencies into U.S. dollars using currency rates in effect at different points in time in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Significant changes in foreign currency exchange rates from one period to the next can result in meaningful variations in reported results. We are providing constant currency amounts for our international operating segment to present a period-to-period comparison of business performance that excludes the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

 

U.S.  We showed limited new releases, including Tom and Jerry and Godzilla vs. Kong, as well as library content during the first quarter of 2021.  Additionally, we continued to offer Private Watch Parties to our patrons.  Average ticket price increased 11.0% to $9.25, primarily as a result of the mix of fewer matinee and weekday showtimes, the impact of Private Watch Parties and recognition of previously deferred loyalty revenues.  Concession revenues per patron increased 15.0% to $6.30 driven by an increase in overall purchase incidence across core concession items and the recognition of previously deferred loyalty revenues, that were partially offset by the impact of continued welcome back pricing in certain locations.   Other revenues for the first quarter of 2021 primarily included the amortization of NCM screen advertising advances and promotional income related to the recent new film releases.  

 

International.  We offered library content and limited new releases in our international theatres during the first quarter of 2021, resulting in 2.5 million in attendance and $7.6 million of admissions revenue.  Our average ticket price was $3.05 as reported and $3.45 in constant currency, representing a 2.7% increase.  The increase in constant currency average ticket price was due to the impact of inflation in certain countries, partially offset by a lower premium ticket mix.  Concession revenues per patron increased 22.9% as reported and 34.3% in constant currency.  The increase was a result of increased purchase incidence of our core concession items, the impact of inflation, new premium combo offerings, and increased retail concession sales.  Other revenues primarily included screen advertising and loyalty membership revenues and were impacted by reduced attendance.

U.S. Film rentals and advertising costs for first quarter of 2021 were 39.8% of admissions revenue compared to 55.1% for the first quarter of 2020.  The decrease in the film rentals and advertising rate was driven by the box office performance of the limited new releases that was lower on the film rental scales that we have with the studios, as well as impact of library content.  Film rentals and advertising costs for the first quarter of 2020 reflected a normal volume of new film releases with box office revenues that generally fell higher on the film rental scales.  Concession supplies expenses for the first quarter of 2021 was 16.7% of concessions revenue compared to 16.8% of concession revenues for the first quarter of 2020.  The concession supplies rate for the first quarter of 2021 reflected the impact of promotional pricing and the disposal of perishable goods for theatres that just recently reopened, offset by a favorable product mix.

Salaries and wages decreased $46.3 million for the first quarter of 2021 as many of our theatres were open with limited operating hours and our operational teams focused on more efficient staffing levels. Facility lease expense, which is primarily fixed in nature, decreased $6.4 million primarily due to a decline in percentage rent expense and common area maintenance costs, as well as the permanent closure of certain theatres. Utilities and other costs decreased $35.0 million, as many of these costs, such as credit card fees, security expenses, janitorial costs and repairs and maintenance, are variable in nature and were impacted by reduced operating hours of our theatres.

 

International. Film rentals and advertising costs for first quarter of 2021 were 51.3% of admissions revenue compared to 47.5% for the first quarter of 2020.  The increase in the film rentals and advertising rate was a result of increased promotional and advertising costs as a percentage of revenue as well as a decrease in virtual print fees collected from studios as cost recoupment is attained on the digital equipment. Concession supplies expenses were 26.2% of concessions revenue compared to 24.5% of concession revenues for the first quarter of 2020, driven by a higher mix of retail and premium concession products and the disposal of perishable goods due to temporary theatre closures.  

Salaries and wages decreased $10.1 million as reported for the first quarter of 2021 as compared to the first quarter of 2020, driven by the ongoing closures of theatres and limited operating hours for those theatres that reopened.   Facility lease expense decreased $11.0 million due to our negotiations with certain landlords to shift from a minimum rent structure to percentage rent while we recover from the pandemic, as well as lower percentage rent at other locations. Utilities and other costs decreased $16.4 million, as many of these costs are variable in nature, such as credit card fees, security expenses, janitorial costs and repairs and maintenance, and were impacted by the temporary closure and limited operating hours of our theatres.

General and Administrative Expenses.  General and administrative expenses decreased $5.0 million for the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of the 2020 Restructuring Plan (see Note 2) that permanently reduced headcount and related compensation and benefits.  Travel expense also declined due to the Company’s continued efforts to limit non-essential operating expenses.  

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.9 million during the first quarter of 2021 primarily due to the digital projectors we received in a non-cash distribution from DCIP during the fourth quarter of 2020.  See Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for discussion of the non-cash distribution from DCIP.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.  No asset impairment charges were recorded during the first quarter of 2021.  We recorded asset impairment charges of $16.6 million during the first quarter of 2020. The asset impairment charges recorded during the first quarter of 2020 were primarily a result of the prolonged impact of the COVID pandemic on our operations, as some theatres remained closed and film content continues to shift into future periods, both of which impacted our estimated future cash flows for theatres.  Impairment charges for the first quarter of 2020 impacted eight countries.  See Note 13 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Loss on Disposal of Assets and Other. We recorded a loss on disposal of assets and other of $4.5 million during the first quarter of 2021 compared to $1.9 million during the first quarter of 2020. Activity for the first quarter of 2021 was primarily related to the write-off of certain digital projectors recently received from DCIP in a non-cash distribution that were replaced with laser projectors.  See Note 10 for discussion of the distribution of digital projectors from DCIP.  Activity for the first quarter of 2020 was primarily due to the retirement of assets related to theatre remodels.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense, which includes amortization of debt issue costs and amortization of accumulated losses for swap amendments, increased to $36.6 million during the first quarter of 2021 compared to $24.7 million the first quarter of 2020.  The increase was primarily due to the issuance of 8.750% senior secured notes on April 20, 2020 and the issuance of 4.50% convertible notes on August 21, 2020.  See Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.  

32


 

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt.  We recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.6 million during the first quarter of 2021 related to the early retirement of our 5.125% Senior Notes, including a write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and cash fees paid.  See Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.  

Distributions from NCM.  We recorded distributions from NCM of $0.1 million during the first quarter of 2021 compared to $5.2 million recorded during the first quarter of 2020.  These distributions were in excess of the carrying value of our Tranche 1 investment. The decrease in distributions from NCM is primarily due to the impact of theatres being temporarily closed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic as discussed at Note 2.  See Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for discussion of our investment in NCM.  

Interest expense – NCM.  We recorded non-cash interest expense of $5.8 million for the first quarter of 2021 compared to $5.9 million recorded during the first quarter of 2020, related to the significant financing component associated with certain of our agreements with NCM.  See Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.  

Equity in Income (Loss) of Affiliates. We recorded equity in loss of affiliates of $(6.8) million during the first quarter of 2021 compared to equity in income of affiliates of $8.5 million during the first quarter of 2020. The decrease in equity income of affiliates is primarily due to the impact of theatres being temporarily closed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic as discussed at Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.  See Notes 9 and 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for information about our equity investments.

Income Taxes. An income tax benefit of $(14.6) million was recorded for the first quarter of 2021 compared to income tax benefit of $(3.1) million for the first quarter of 2020. The effective tax rate was approximately 6.55% for the first quarter of 2021 compared to 5% for the first quarter of 2020. As a result of continued projected losses in 2021, the income tax rate was negatively impacted by valuation allowances related to certain foreign tax credits and deferred tax assets for which the ultimate realization is uncertain.   Income tax provisions for interim (quarterly) periods are based on estimated annual income tax rates and are adjusted for the effects of significant, infrequent or unusual items (i.e. discrete items) occurring during the interim period. As a result, the interim rate may vary significantly from the normalized annual rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities

We primarily collect our revenues in cash, mainly through box office receipts and the sale of concessions. Our revenues are received in cash prior to the payment of related expenses; therefore, we have an operating “float” and historically have not required traditional working capital financing. However, as we reopened our theatres that were temporarily closed during March 2020, we have funded operating expenses with cash on hand and recent additional financing discussed below under Financing Activities.

Cash used for operating activities was $124.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to cash used for operating activities of $15.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily a result of the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.  

As discussed in Note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, we negotiated the deferral of rent and other lease-related payments in 2020 with many of our landlords, resulting in approximately $65.2 million in deferred lease payments as of March 31, 2021.  Approximately $48.3 million will be repaid within one year and the remaining $16.9 million will be repaid in subsequent years.  

Subsequent to March 31, 2021, we received approximately $136.8 million in cash tax refunds associated with net operating losses that were carried back, as discussed above.  

Investing Activities

Our investing activities have been principally related to the development, remodel and acquisition of theatres. New theatre openings and acquisitions historically have been financed with internally generated cash and by debt financing, including borrowings under our senior secured credit facility. Cash used for investing activities was $17.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $34.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.  The decrease in cash used for investing activities was primarily due to reduced capital expenditures in response to the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.  

Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were as follows (in millions):

Actual expenditures for continued theatre development, remodels and acquisitions are subject to change based upon the availability of attractive opportunities.  We may fund capital expenditures for our continued development with cash flow from operations, borrowings under our senior secured credit facility, and proceeds from debt issuances, sale leaseback transactions and/or sales of excess real estate.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities was $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $48.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.  During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we borrowed $98.8 million on our revolving line-of-credit, which was repaid during the third quarter of 2020, and we paid dividends to stockholders of $42.3 million.

We, at the discretion of the board of directors and subject to applicable law, may pay dividends on our common stock. The amount, if any, of the dividends to be paid in the future will depend upon our then available cash balance, anticipated cash needs, overall financial condition, loan agreement restrictions as discussed below, future prospects for earnings and cash flows, as well as other relevant factors.  As a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have suspended our quarterly dividend.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

Cinemark USA, Inc. has a senior secured credit facility that includes a $700.0 million term loan and a $100.0 million revolving credit line (the “Credit Agreement”). Under the amended Credit Agreement, quarterly principal payments of $1.6 million are due on the term loan through December 31, 2024, with a final principal payment of $613.4 million due on March 29, 2025. Cinemark USA, Inc. had $100.0 million available borrowing capacity on the revolving credit line as of March 31, 2021.

Interest on the term loan accrues at Cinemark USA, Inc.’s option at: (A) the base rate equal to the greater of (1) the US “Prime Rate” as quoted in The Wall Street Journal or if no such rate is quoted therein, in a Federal Reserve Board statistical release, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, and (3) a one-month Eurodollar-based rate plus 1.0%, plus, in each case, a margin of 0.75% per annum, or (B) a Eurodollar-based rate for a period of 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 or 12 months plus a margin of 1.75% per annum. Interest on the revolving credit line accrues, at our option, at: (A) a base rate equal to the greater of (1) the US “Prime Rate” as quoted in The Wall Street Journal or if no such rate is quoted therein, in a Federal Reserve Board statistical release, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, and (3) a one-month Eurodollar-based rate plus 1.0%, plus, in each case, a margin that ranges from 0.50% to 1.25% per annum, or (B) a Eurodollar-based rate for a period of 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 or 12 months plus a margin that ranges from 1.50% to 2.25% per annum. The margin of the revolving credit line is determined by the consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio as defined in the Credit Agreement.  

35


 

Cinemark USA, Inc.’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and certain of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s domestic subsidiaries and are secured by mortgages on certain fee and leasehold properties and security interests in substantially all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s and the guarantors’ personal property, including, without limitation, pledges of all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s capital stock, all of the capital stock of certain of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the voting stock of certain of its foreign subsidiaries.

The Credit Agreement contains usual and customary negative covenants for agreements of this type, including, but not limited to, restrictions on Cinemark USA, Inc.’s ability, and in certain instances, its subsidiaries’ and our ability, to consolidate or merge or liquidate, wind up or dissolve; substantially change the nature of its business; sell, transfer or dispose of assets; create or incur indebtedness; create liens; pay dividends or repurchase stock; and make capital expenditures and investments. If Cinemark USA, Inc. has borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit line, it is required to satisfy a consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio covenant as defined in the Credit Agreement, not to exceed 4.25 to 1.  See below for discussion of recent covenant waivers.  

The dividend restriction contained in the Credit Agreement prevents the Company and any of its subsidiaries from paying a dividend or otherwise distributing cash to its stockholders unless (1) the Company is not in default, and the distribution would not cause Cinemark USA, Inc. to be in default, under the Credit Agreement; and (2) the aggregate amount of certain dividends, distributions, investments, redemptions and capital expenditures made since December 18, 2012, including dividends declared by the board of directors, is less than the sum of (a) the aggregate amount of cash and cash equivalents received by Cinemark Holdings, Inc. or Cinemark USA, Inc. as common equity since December 18, 2012, (b) Cinemark USA, Inc.’s consolidated EBITDA minus 1.75 times its consolidated interest expense, each as defined in the Credit Agreement, and (c) certain other defined amounts (collectively the “Applicable Amount”).

On April 17, 2020, in conjunction with the issuance of the 8.750% Secured Notes discussed below, we obtained a waiver of the leverage covenant from the majority of revolving lenders under the Credit Agreement for the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020.  The waiver is subject to certain liquidity thresholds, restrictions on investments and the use of the Applicable Amount.

On August 21, 2020, in conjunction with the issuance of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes discussed below, we further amended the waiver of the leverage covenant through the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021.  The amendment also i) modifies the leverage covenant calculation beginning with the calculation for the trailing twelve-month period ended December 31, 2021, ii) for purposes of testing the consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio for the fiscal quarters ending on December 31, 2021, March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, permits us to substitute Consolidated EBITDA for the first three fiscal quarters of 2019 in lieu of Consolidated EBITDA for the corresponding fiscal quarters of 2021, (iii) modifies the restrictions imposed by the covenant waiver and (iv) makes such other changes to permit the issuance of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes discussed below.

We have four interest rate swap agreements that are used to hedge a portion of the interest rate risk associated with the variable interest rates on the term loan outstanding under the Credit Agreement. See Note 7 of our condensed consolidated financial statements for discussion of the interest rate swaps.

At March 31, 2021, there was $638.1 million outstanding under the term loan and no borrowings were outstanding under the $100.0 million revolving line of credit.  The average interest rate on outstanding term loan borrowings under the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2021 was approximately 3.4% per annum, after giving effect to the interest rate swap agreements discussed above.  

5.875% Senior Notes

On March 16, 2021, Cinemark USA, Inc. issued $405 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% senior notes due 2026, at par value (the “5.875% Senior Notes”). Proceeds, after payment of fees, were used to fund a cash tender offer to purchase any and all of Cinemark USA’s 5.125% Senior Notes (the “5.125% Senior Notes”) and to redeem any of the 5.125% Notes that remained outstanding after the tender offer. See further discussion of the tender offer below.  Interest on the 5.875% Senior Notes is payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning September 15, 2021. The 5.875% Senior Notes mature on March 15, 2026. The Company incurred debt issue costs of approximately $6.0 million in connection with the issuance, which are recorded as a reduction of long-term debt, less current on the consolidated balance sheet.  

The 5.875% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior unsecured basis by certain of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s subsidiaries that guarantee, assume or become liable with respect to any of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s or a guarantor’s debt. The 5.875% Senior Notes and the guarantees are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s and its guarantor’s existing and future senior debt and senior in right of payment to all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s and its guarantors’ existing and future senior subordinated debt. The 5.875% Senior Notes and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s and its guarantor’s existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt, including all borrowings under Cinemark USA, Inc.’s amended senior secured credit facility. The 5.875% Senior Notes and the guarantees are structurally subordinated to all existing and future debt and other liabilities of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 5.875% Senior Notes.

36


 

The indenture to the 5.875% Senior Notes contains covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of Cinemark USA, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries to (1) make investments or other restricted payments, including paying dividends, making other distributions or repurchasing subordinated debt or equity, (2) incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, (3) enter into transactions with affiliates, (4) enter new lines of business, (5) merge or consolidate with, or sell all or substantially all of its assets to, another person and (6) create liens. As of March 31, 2021, Cinemark USA, Inc. could have distributed up to approximately $3.0 billion to its parent company and sole stockholder, Cinemark Holdings, Inc., under the terms of the indenture to the 4.875% Senior Notes, subject to its available cash and other borrowing restrictions outlined in the indenture. Upon a change of control, as defined in the indenture, the Company would be required to make an offer to repurchase the 5.875% Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, through the date of repurchase. The indenture governing the 5.875% Senior Notes allows Cinemark USA, Inc. to incur additional indebtedness if we satisfy the coverage ratio specified in the indenture, after giving effect to the incurrence of the additional indebtedness, and in certain other circumstances. The required minimum coverage ratio is 2 to 1 and our actual ratio as of March 31, 2021 was below zero.

Prior to March 15, 2023, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem all or any part of the 5.875% Senior Notes at its option at 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium plus accrued and unpaid interest on the 5.875% Senior Notes to the date of redemption. After March 15, 2023, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem the 5.875% Senior Notes in whole or in part at redemption prices specified in the indenture. In addition, prior to March 15, 2023, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 5.875% Senior Notes from the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption price set forth in the indenture.

5.125% Senior Notes

On March 16, 2021, Cinemark USA, Inc. completed a tender offer to purchase it’s previously outstanding 5.125% Senior Notes, of which $334.0 million was tendered at the expiration of the offer.  On March 16, 2021, Cinemark USA, Inc. also issued a notice of optional redemption to redeem the remaining $66.0 million principal amount of the 5.125% Senior Notes. In connection therewith, on March 16, 2021, Cinemark USA deposited with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee for the 5.125% Senior Notes (the “Trustee”), funds sufficient to redeem all 5.125% Notes remaining outstanding on April 15, 2021 (the “Redemption Date”). The redemption payment (the “Redemption Payment”) included approximately $66.0 million of outstanding principal at the redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date. Upon deposit of the Redemption Payment with the Trustee on March 16, 2021, the indenture governing the 5.125% Senior Notes was fully satisfied and discharged.

The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt on the condensed consolidated income statement of $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, which included the write-off of $1.2 million of unamortized debt issuance costs and the payment of $1.4 million in fees.

4.875% Senior Notes

On May 24, 2013, Cinemark USA, Inc. issued $530.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.875% Senior Notes due 2023, at par value (the “4.875% Senior Notes”). Cinemark USA, Inc. issued an additional $225.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 4.875% Senior Notes at 99.0% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest from December 1, 2015. These additional 4.875% Senior Notes have identical terms, other than the issue date, the issue price and the first interest payment date, and constitute part of the same series as the Company’s existing 4.875% Senior Notes.  Interest on the 4.875% Senior Notes is payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year.  The 4.875% Senior Notes mature on June 1, 2023.  

The indenture to the 4.875% Senior Notes contains covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of Cinemark USA, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries to (1) make investments or other restricted payments, including paying dividends, making other distributions or repurchasing subordinated debt or equity, (2) incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, (3) enter into transactions with affiliates, (4) enter new lines of business, (5) merge or consolidate with, or sell all or substantially all of its assets to, another person and (6) create liens. As of March 31, 2021, Cinemark USA, Inc. could have distributed up to approximately $2.7 billion to its parent company and sole stockholder, Cinemark Holdings, Inc., under the terms of the indenture to the 4.875% Senior Notes, subject to its available cash and other borrowing restrictions outlined in the indenture. Upon a change of control, as defined in the indenture governing the 4.875% Senior Notes, Cinemark USA, Inc. would be required to make an offer to repurchase the 4.875% Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, through the date of repurchase. The indenture governing the 4.875% Senior Notes allows Cinemark USA, Inc. to incur additional indebtedness if it satisfies the coverage ratio specified in the indenture, after giving effect to the incurrence of the additional indebtedness, and in certain other circumstances. The required minimum coverage ratio is 2 to 1 and our actual ratio as of March 31, 2021 was below zero.

8.750% Secured Notes

On April 20, 2020, Cinemark USA, Inc. issued $250,000 8.750% senior secured notes (the “8.750% Secured Notes”).  The 8.750% Senior Notes will mature on May 1, 2025; provided, however, that if (i) on September 13, 2022, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 5.125% Senior Notes that shall not have been purchased, repurchased, redeemed, defeased or otherwise acquired, retired, cancelled or discharged exceeds $50,000, the 8.750% Senior Notes will mature on September 14, 2022 and (ii) on February 27, 2023, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 4.875% Senior Notes that shall not have been purchased, repurchased, redeemed, defeased or otherwise acquired, retired, cancelled or discharged exceeds $50,000, the 8.750% Senior Notes will mature on February 28, 2023. Interest on the 8.750% Senior Notes will be payable on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on November 1, 2020.  

The 8.750% Secured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior basis by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries that guarantee, assume or in any other manner become liable with respect to any of the Company’s or its guarantors’ other debt. If the Company cannot make payments on the 8.750% Secured Notes when they are due, the Company’s guarantors must make them instead. Under certain circumstances, the guarantees may be released without action by, or the consent of, the holders of the 8.750% Secured Notes.

The indenture to the 8.750% Secured Notes contains covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of Cinemark USA, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries to (1) make investments or other restricted payments, including paying dividends, making other distributions or repurchasing subordinated debt or equity, (2) incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, (3) enter into transactions with affiliates, (4) enter new lines of business, (5) merge or consolidate with, or sell all or substantially all of its assets to, another person and (6) create liens.

Upon a change of control, as defined in the indenture governing the 8.750% Secured Notes, Cinemark USA, Inc. would be required to make an offer to repurchase the 8.750% Secured Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, through the date of repurchase. The indenture governing the 8.750% Secured Notes allows Cinemark USA, Inc. to incur additional indebtedness if it satisfies a coverage ratio specified in the indenture, after giving effect to the incurrence of the additional indebtedness, and in certain other circumstances.  The required minimum coverage ratio is 2.0 to 1 and our actual ratio as of March 31, 2021 was below zero.  

4.50% Convertible Senior Notes

On August 21, 2020, Cinemark Holdings, Inc. issued $460 million 4.50% convertible senior notes (the “4.50% Convertible Senior Notes”).  The notes will mature on August 15, 2025, unless earlier repurchased or converted.  Interest on the notes will be payable on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2021.

Holders of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes may convert their 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding May 15, 2025 only under the following circumstances: (1) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period, or the measurement period, in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (2) if we distribute to all or substantially all stockholders (i) rights options or warrants entitling them to purchase shares at a discount to the recent average trading price of our common stock (including due to a stockholder rights plan) or (ii) our assets or securities or rights, options or warrants to purchase the same with a per share value exceeding 10% of the trading price of our common stock, (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as described further in the indenture. Beginning May 15, 2025, holders may convert their notes at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, or (4) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2020 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price (initially $14.35 per share), on each applicable trading day. Upon conversion of the notes, we will pay or deliver cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election.

The conversion rate will initially be 69.6767 shares of our common stock per one thousand dollars principal amount of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. If a make-whole fundamental change as defined in the indenture occurs prior to the maturity date, we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change.

38


 

The 4.50% Convertible Notes will be effectively subordinated to any of our, or our subsidiaries’, existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, including obligations under the Credit Agreement. The 4.50% Convertible Notes will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future debt and other liabilities, including trade payables, including Cinemark USA’s 5.125% senior notes due 2022, 4.875% senior notes due 2023 and the 8.750% Secured Notes due 2025, or, collectively, Cinemark USA’s senior notes (but excluding all obligations under the Credit Agreement which are guaranteed by Cinemark Holdings, inc.). The 4.50% Convertible Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsubordinated debt, including all obligations under the Cinemark USA, Inc. Credit Agreement, which such Credit Agreement is guaranteed by Cinemark Holdings, Inc., and senior in right of payment to any future debt that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the notes.  The 4.50% Convertible Notes are not guaranteed by any of Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s subsidiaries.  

Additional Borrowings of International Subsidiaries

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, certain of our international subsidiaries borrowed an aggregate of $9.0 million under various local bank loans.  Below is a summary of these loans:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We have exposure to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and other relevant market prices.  

Interest Rate Risk

We are currently party to a variable rate debt facility.  We have four interest rate swap agreements that are used to hedge a portion of the interest rate risk associated with the variable interest rates on $600 million of the term loan outstanding under the Credit Agreement. An increase or decrease in interest rates would affect our interest expense relating to our variable rate debt. At March 31, 2021, we had an aggregate of approximately $68.2 million of variable rate debt outstanding. Based on the interest rates in effect on the variable rate debt outstanding at March 31, 2021, a 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $0.7 million.
